Around 10:30 pm Powell River RCMP conducted a roadblock in the area locally known as The Cut. An approaching vehicle abruptly stopped approximately 400 metres away. An RCMP constable quickly approached the vehicle and determined that the vehicle occupants were attempting to switch seats in order to hide who was driving. The investigation resulted in the driver being identified and found to be impaired by alcohol. The vehicle was impounded and the driver is now facing potential criminal charges of driving while impaired.
